A person\'s Body Mass Index is I=W/H^2 where W is the body weight (in kilograms)

Question

A person's Body Mass Index is I=W/H^2 where W is the body weight (in kilograms) and H is the body height (in meters). A boy has weight W = 30 kg and height H = 1.3 m. Use the linear approximation to estimate the change in I if   (W, H)  changes to (31, 1.38). (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

f (W,H) = W/H2

fW = 1/H2

fH = -2W/H3

f (30,1.3) = 30/1.32 = 17.75

fW (30,1.3) = 0.59

fH (30,1.3) = -2*30/1.33 = -54.62

f (31,1.38) = f (30,1.3) + (31-30)* fW (30,1.3) + (1.38-1.3) fH (30,1.3)

= 17.75 + 1 * 0.59 + 0.08 * -54.626

= 13.97
